I will be arriving in Chiang Mai on Friday Morning, regarding the TM6 departure card, 

i have a O-A multi entry visa and will be arriving on a one way ticket, (i'll be there for over a year) will i still have to show some sort of departure ticket ? TIA.

Answer summary

The discussion centers on whether an onward ticket is required for entry into Thailand when arriving on an O-A multi-entry visa with a one-way ticket. Commenters indicate that individuals typically are not asked for proof of onward travel upon arrival if they possess a Non-Immigrant visa, and suggest keeping the TM6 Departure card secured.

this has happened to me 2 times the first I had a multiple entry tourist visa . The second I have non O marriage. IO did not stamp my passport at all but it was in the computer. My wife went to immigration at Chaengwattana and they stamped my passport.

brings up a good point (y)

For some strange reason a LOT of people on year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O-A visas seem to get stamped in wrong :O

Before you walk away from passport control after getting stamped in to thailand take a second and look at the "admitted until" date on your rectangular entry stamp.

It should be a year from the date you entered the country.

Don’t forget to keep or not lose the Departure card. Take a photo of it. I have mine stapled in my passport.

NO, you will not be asked for proof of onward travel when you stamp into the country on a Non-Immigrant Type visa.
